Nice hostel with wonderful staff. Had a long and interesting chat about India and the world with one of them. Was easy for me to make some connections although the hostel seemed fairly empty. Location so close to the Taj that you can walk for the sunrise. Only downsides were that security didn't feel perfect as doors can't be locked, the bathroom could be refurbished but was clean and on the top bunk beds there is a lot of wind from the ventilation. Overall I'd really recommend it.

The hostel was really dirty. The bathrooms looked like it hadn't been cleaned for days. All floors were dirty too, our room hadn't been vacuumed. Everything in the hostel looks old and used. Additionally, there are several fast food restaurants next to the hostel and the whole first floor smelled like kebab. Finally there was and brightly shining advertisement in front of our window.
